2020 marked the first year for the Santa Ana Haunt, but this team comes from a long history of scare acting. Creator Chewie Garcia began working haunts at age 18 with the Empty Grave haunt. When Empty Grave moved to Colorado, Garcia began working for both Queen Mary’s Dark Harbor and Knott’s Scary Farm, where he played the Iron Master, and even trained sliders at Boomer’s Halloween Haunt in 2018. It’s at these events he met most of his team, and when Boomers called it quits, Garcia saw this as an opportunity to create a weekend long experience to Halloween enthusiasts.
